Conways Game of CLIfe

Info:

Conway's Game of Life in the Command Line Interface.
Features a bunch of premade presets, a random generator and an editor to create your own presets.
I strongly recommend using CMD, Git Bash or zsh to run this since it renders better than other terminal apps.

This game is part of my CLI Games Collection

You can download a standalone version here:

Steps to build:

1. Have Node.js and npm installed (I recommend the latest v14)
2. Download or clone the repo and open a terminal in the downloaded folder
3. Install dependencies by running the command npm i in the terminal
4. Run the command npm run build to build the executables (they will be located in the dist folder)

Rules of Conway's game of life:

Births	Each dead cell adjacent to exactly three live neighbors will become live in the next generation.
Death by isolation	Each live cell with one or fewer live neighbors will die in the next generation.
Death by overcrowding	Each live cell with four or more live neighbors will die in the next generation.
Survival	Each live cell with either two or three live neighbors will remain alive for the next generation.
